Name that saddle.

[Alan Frame]

Can anyone identify this saddle please ? The name has worn off the badge at the rear of the saddle and the only other markings are "Made in England" and "A83".

I thought it might be a Brooks, but don't those saddles all have the name embossed into the side of the saddle? There are no markings in the leather of my saddle.

Also no saddlebag loops.

On the side of the nose, it says 'Colt'.

An old Brooks Colt. Keep it.

I name that saddle 'Louise'. May God bless all who sit upon her.

Well spotted !

I've had this saddle about 5 years, cleaned it regularly and generally pampered it and I'd never noticed the " Colt " bit ! In my defence, the lettering does show up better in the photo than in real life.

Thanks everyone for your input. Came up trumps as ever.
